The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas

I loved this book. I am beginning to read ‘The Classics’, a daunting task, nonetheless. But this book could be appreciated without a background of classical literature. The plot was thrilling and unique, the writing style original and captivating, and nothing will be written like it again. It had everything a book should have: romance, revenge, action, adventure, heartbreak. I think that is what has made it one of the best books I have ever read.
